Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Joy said about coughing up blood: " It means you have infx bad enough to need specific and accurate abx (antibiotics). " So coughing up flecks of blood means you have an infection? I just have mild bronch and my doc is allowing me a trial of not using an inhaled steroid since every last one of them makes me hoarse all the time. I'm coughing only a little bit more, but a few times I've seen flecks of blood like I saw daily before I started treatment. I'm hoping this doesn't always mean infection. I feel like my lungs are only slightly worse now without Pulmicort. My Acapella device is the single most effective part of my treatment regimen in my opinion.
